STAR HOUSE SERVES HOMELESS YOUTH AGES 14 TO 24 BY PROVIDING A SAFE RESPITE FROM THE STREETS AND CONNECTION WITH A CHANCE TO THRIVE.
STAR HOUSE SERVES HOMELESS YOUTH AGES 14 TO 24 THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAMING.
STAR HOUSE OPERATES CENTRAL OHIO'S ONLY DROP-IN CENTER FOR YOUTH, AGES 14-24, WHO ARE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. AT OUR DROP-IN CENTER, YOUTH ARE PROVIDED ACCESS TO FOOD, CLOTHING, HYGIENE ITEMS, LAUNDRY FACILITIES, SHOWERS AND A SAFE PLACE TO BE. BEYOND BASIC NEEDS, OUR CLINICAL TEAM PROVIDES THERAPY AND CASE MANAGEMENT, AND PARTNER AGENCIES PROVIDE ON-SITE AND COMMUNITY-BASED ACCESS TO STABILIZING RESOURCES, SUCH AS HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION, HEALTH CARE, EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION, ADDICTION SERVICES, LEGAL AID, GOVERNMENT BENEFITS, ID CARDS AND MORE. OUR LEAD HEALTHCARE PARTNERS ARE NATIONWIDE CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL AND PRIMARYONE, WHICH HAVE PROVIDED ON-SITE CARE IN OUR MEDICAL EXAM ROOM THROUGHOUT THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.
WE BREAK DOWN BARRIERS TO SUSTAINED EMPLOYMENT BY PROVIDING WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSITIONAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH PATHWAYS TO LIVING WAGE CAREERS. THE PATH TO SUSTAINED EMPLOYMENT FOR MANY YOUTH EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IS TOO OFTEN FILLED WITH SETBACKS - LACK OF STABLE HOUSING, TRANSPORTATION AND MORE. TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, WE CREATED STAR WORKS, A PROGRAM THAT OFFERS TRANSITIONAL, FLEXIBLE, ON-SITE EMPLOYMENT AND WORKFORCE EDUCATION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WHILE THEY ARE HOMELESS AND PATHWAYS TO LIVING WAGE JOBS THEY CAN SUSTAIN AFTER THEY ARE HOUSED. IN PARTNERSHIP WITH COLUMBUS WORKS AND SOCIAL ENTERPRISE EMPLOYER PARTNERS, THIS TRAUMA-INFORMED WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM REMOVES BARRIERS TO COMPLETING TRAINING AND GAINING EMPLOYMENT.
STAR HOUSE CONNECTS YOUTH IN CENTRAL OHIO WITH SUPPORTIVE GROUPS OF MENTORS WHO CAN HELP YOUNG PEOPLE FEEL MORE SUPPORTED AND ROOTED IN THEIR COMMUNITY. YOUNG PEOPLE NEED SUPPORTIVE RELATIONSHIPS IN ORDER TO THRIVE. IN FACT, WE KNOW THROUGH RESEARCH WITH THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY THAT SOCIAL CONNECTIONS ARE A LEADING PREDICTOR OF EXITING HOMELESSNESS. WHAT'S MORE, RESEARCH ALSO TELLS US THAT MENTORING HAS BEEN PROVEN MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN THERAPY FOR YOUTH WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED TRAUMA. THE OPEN TABLE PROGRAM, A NATIONALLY-RECOGNIZED MODEL, CONNECTS INDIVIDUAL STAR HOUSE GUESTS WITH A "TABLE" OF SIX TO EIGHT MENTORS WHO THEY MEET WITH ONCE A WEEK FOR ONE YEAR TO GOAL-SET, GOAL-REPORT AND THRIVE. TEN TABLES WERE FORMED DURING OUR 2019-2020 PILOT.
